Molfetta, 24/01/2018
In Australia, a Perth, una cane di "razza" battezzato per le corse Molfetta Boy ha vinto diverse gare, partecipando a sessantasette competizioni, per 18 vittorie e vari piazzamenti minori. Il montepremi totale era di $ 50.000.
Noi dell'Associazione Oll Muvi, quelli di I Love Molfetta, vi raccontiamo questa simpatica storia dei molfettesi emigrati in Australia.
La famiglia Minutillo, il fratello maggiore di Ettore è allenatore di levrieri, aveva comprato un esemplare da un suo amico a Sydney. Quando il cane arrivò a Perth ci furono molte discussioni e considerazioni sul nome che doveva essere dato al cane.
Alla fine fu deciso che gli sarebbe stato dato il nome di Beppe, in onore di Giuseppe Paparella, conosciuto a Molfetta in occasione di una sua visita, la sua amicizia era diventata importante per l'accoglienza ricevuta.
Molfetta Boy
In 2014 Ettore Minutillo visited Molettta Italy and became very close to Giuseppe Paparella (Beppe). On his return he spoke highly of all the family members, including Beppe, a relative newcomer to the Italian clan.
In 2015 Nicolavito Minutillo, Ettore’s elder brother and established greyhound trainer, had bought a greyhound from his friend in Sydney. When the dog arrived in Perth there was much discussion and consideration about the name that was to be given to the dog. It was finally decided that he would be given the kennel name of Beppe, in honour of Giuseppe Paparella. After the dog had been in training for several months it was time to submit several racing names, of which one would be his ultimate racing name. One name submitted was Molfetta Boy, in keeping with the Molfetta/Italian connection. And so it was that Molfetta Boy was the racing name given to the dog.
Molfetta Boy went on to race sixty seven times, for 18 wins and various minor placings. Total prise money was $50,000. When his racing career was over he was retired and adopted by a loving family where he now resides.
The prize money won came in second to the comradeship enjoyed by the seven (Aussie/Molfettese) brothers who syndicated the dog.
Puntare su "Molfetta" si vince con certezza!!!
